Favorite quotes from this talk See all
Cooking is a sensory experience and those memories can be very vivid, depending on what you’re connecting to.
Sometimes food is not about a personal thing—it’s creating that memory for somebody else.
Think about the ways that the holiday food traditions do impact you. How does it connect you to your past, to your family’s heritage, to your culture? What memories are triggered by those smells and the visuals and the taste of the holiday food?
I believe every dish tells a story.
These are marathon cooking stations, but practice staying grounded and for what it is, these are skills that are easily transferable.
